    Not wild at all - who better to help with intelligence than defectors?

    Founder of the school I went to maybe somewhat similar to your idol, having had to flee himself once he spoke out against the regime he’d previously advised on education, then persuaded parents to send their teenagers to him after. It is said the war memorial is one of the few which has British and German in equal measure, so he wasn’t successful beyond keeping his own pupils safe whilst they were still his pupils.

    Wake every day overwhelmed with dread, and the clinging stench of death and misery coating my everything.

      Much like Nazism was not adopted by most Germans, Trumpism does not reflect the vast majority of Americans’ beliefs.

      One of the first rules of being a strongman is that you flood the zone with the particular brand of shit that inflates your support, such that people start to believe resistance is futile.

      Unfortunately, it works.
